NYU Grossman School of Medicine

What NYU Grossman School of Medicine does

NYU Grossman School of Medicine is a private academic medical institution founded in 1841 and operating as an integral component of NYU Langone Health, the clinical and research enterprise of New York University. The institution trains medical students, residents, fellows, PhD candidates, and practicing physicians across more than 70 specialty and subspecialty programs. It functions simultaneously as an educational institution and a research engine, with substantial research funding flowing through multiple departments; the Department of Medicine alone records approximately $60 million in annual research funding, with total projected research funding reaching $345 million. Core academic offerings include the C21 Curriculum (a redesigned MD program producing its first graduating class in 2026), MD and MD/PhD dual-degree tracks, and a Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) program delivered internationally in Canada, Egypt, and Singapore. Continuing Medical Education programs hold ACCME accreditation, and the MHPE program holds NVAO (Dutch-Flemish) accreditation.

The school's research portfolio spans computational medicine, AI-driven clinical decision support, and population health, supported by affiliated faculty that include Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators and National Academy of Sciences awardees. Notable AI/ML products include a depression screening video game currently pursuing FDA clearance, the PREVENT cardiovascular disease risk tool undergoing global validation, AI-powered medical training tools integrated into the curriculum, and multimodal capabilities spanning predictive analytics, NLP, computer vision, and generative AI.

Revenue mechanics include federal and private research grants, philanthropy underwriting full-tuition MD scholarships (instituted in 2018 for all enrolled students), ACCME-accredited CME program fees, MHPE program tuition from international cohorts, and clinical integration with NYU Langone Health's hospital network. The tuition-free MD model, sustained by an endowment and donor base, differentiates the school competitively in medical school admissions and reduces dependence on tuition-paying families. Operational scale is substantial: the institution employs more than 10,000 staff as part of NYU Langone Health, which has been reported at approximately $10 billion in system-wide revenue.
